Assassin’s Creed 3: Tyranny of King Washington Episode 1 Walkthrough
PRISON BREAK
Starting off in the jail cell, wait for the guard to walk past you, then use your Wolf Cloak. This will alarm the two guards. After they open and enter your cell, crouch and stealthily creep between them and turn to the right for a cutscene.
To free Kanen’to:kon, turn left through the open doorway and grab the key on the wall to the left. After you use to key to open the cell and free him, head back through the doorway, pick up your gear on the table and exit through the door on the right.
Head down the stairs, equip Wolf Cloak and hop over the rail, onto the barrels and into the cart of hay. Perform a stealth kill on the nearby guard. Use Wolf Cloak again, hop out of the hay, wait for the patrolling guard to pass by, then take out the stationary guard first followed by the patrolling one.
Proceed forward on the left side of the stack of barrels. Use Wolf Cloak, sneak past the two guards on the right, then turn left up the steps and jump and climb up the rack of barrels. Leap across the series of beams, drop down through the hole in the roof and take out the guard to complete the mission.

SKYE WORLD JOURNEY
Starting off in the Animus-like setting, you’ll need to catch the animal spirit. Run for the nearby tree. There will be a large root sticking up from out of the ground—walk up it, jump up the trunk of the tree and there should be a break in the trunk to grab onto.
Climb around up and to the right and pull yourself up onto the big branch. Jump your way from branch to branch on the left until you spot the eagle. After you walk toward and it flies away, you’ll have to protect its eggs from attacking cheetahs (?). Follow the on-screen button commands every time one lunges toward you to successfully take it down.
You’ll now have the power of Eagle Flight. Use it by looking up at the branch on the nearby tree to fly up to it. You’ll then have to follow the eagle by using Eagle Flight to get from branch to branch. Note that you can “chain” Eagle Flights by tapping the button in mid-flight (chain three of them twice for the bonus objective).
You’ll then go into Flight Simulator mode and have to follow the eagle through the canyon. It will be tough to get through without hitting any of the rocks (especially once they start moving toward the end), so just mimic the exact path the eagle is taking and you should be good.

DIVE BOMB
Following the cutscene, aim your cursor through the whole in the roof and use Eagle Flight to fly up to the second level. Go left, then turn right and jump across to the racks of barrels. From there, look up and use Eagle Flight to get to one of the beams, then fly to the closest beam overlooking the two guards.
Place the cursor over the guard closest to the door and then perform an Eagle assassination to take them both out. Following the cutscene, you’ll have to take out five of Ben Franklin’s henchmen. If you want to remain undetected, allow them to start making their way toward you, then use Wolf Cloak to sneak past all of them so that you are behind them.
As they begin to spread out, use Wolf Cloak again and perform stealth kills on the two closest to you. Next, fly up to a beam using Eagle Flight. Make sure the guards are spread out and use an Eagle assassination on each one to clear the area.
After you make your way through the double doors, there will be a short cutscene. Following that, it will be your job to chase and hunt down Franklin. For an old guy, he’s surprisingly quick, so you probably won’t be able to catch him in the town.
Obviously, use Eagle Flight to help get from roof to roof in your pursuit. Once he runs out of the town, use Eagle Flight to to fly to the branches of trees. From there, you should be close enough to chain a few Eagle Flights together, getting you close enough to place the cursor over him and perform an Eagle assassination.

RETURN TO SENDER
After talking with Ben Franklin, Washington will show up. After he hits you with a shield blast with his staff, use Eagle Flight to attack him. After he knocks you off, repeat this process, but make sure you don’t use Eagle Flight until after the the shield around him touches the floor and starts coming toward you.
Hit pause and activate Wolf Cloak. After he hits you with a fireball blast from his staff, use Wolf Cloak to sneak up on him and give him a few whacks (note: if the glowing orbs touch you, your cloaking power will stop).
After you repeat the last step, you’ll fall onto a patch of Animusish stuff? Wait for the patch to light up, then use Eagle Flight to fly to next one. Continue to fly to patch to patch in this weird sort of dream sequence before you finally reach the last one, which will eventually disappear and you’ll fall down into a loading sequence.
Following the loading sequence and the cutscene, you’ll immediately be spotted by enemies. Fight them off, then take to the roofs to head for the exclamation point on your map to officially begin the next mission.
Following the cutscene, head for the yellow circle on your map to enter the Bluecoat tavern (there will be lots of enemies along the way, so stick to the rooftops to avoid them). Once you reach the roof of the tavern, perform a double Eagle assassination on two of the enemies down below.
You’ll then have to fight off a rather large group of enemies before entering in through the tavern doors. Once inside, walk around to the back, toward the gold circle on your map and talk to the fella standing by himself.
He’ll challenge you to a game of checkers and you’ll have to take just two of his pieces. After eavesdropping on the nearby conversation and capturing two of the guy’s checkers, you’ll have to sneak up on the messenger and pick his pocket. Use Wolf Cloak to slip past the two Bluecoats who will walk past you, then stealthily pick his pocket once he turns right down the alley.
So now it turns out you’ll have to return that message to the messenger after watching the cutscene. Use Eagle Flight to get up on the nearby roof. Quickly use Eagle Vision and you may be able to find the messenger quickly (he’ll be gold in Eagle Vision). If not you’ll have to jump from roof to roof around the outer green circle on your map. Look around with Eagle Vision on each roof and you should eventually spot him down below.
Once you locate him, drop down from a safe distance, use Wolf Cloak to sneak up behind him while hidden and place the message back on him. Next, head for the yellow circle on your map, which will lead you to a boat that is being built (use Eagle Flight to get up onto it).
Following the cutscene, you’ll then have to kill the two guards from the lookout points. Use Eagle Flight to reach their posts and you should be able to easily sneak up behind them for stealth kills. Return to your vantage point up on the boat for a cutscene.
Right after the cutscene with Franklin and the messenger, follow the on-screen button sequence to fire arrows in an attempt to kill Franklin. Sprint down the boat and chase after. He’ll eventually fall to his knees and you’ll easily be able to catch up with him.
After you apprehend Franklin, you’ll have to keep pushing him along every time he refuses to keep moving forward. Once you spot guards, follow the on-screen instructions and use Wolf Pack to take them down. Continue moving Franklin toward the yellow circle on your map to complete the mission.

MAN OF METTLE
Head for the exclamation point on your map to return to Adams with Franklin. Following the cutscene, follow the blacksmith back to his shop to talk to him.
Following the cutscene, head for the yellow circle on your map. When you see the outside of the large fortified area, drop down to ground level (if you’re on a roof) and head around to the right, using Wolf Cloak to sneak past the two guards.
Continue moving forward and turn left through the entrance. You’ll need to use Wolf Cloak again, so wait for it to charge fully, then head through. Sneak past all of the guards and quickly make your way to the back left corner where the horse will be waiting (use the bushes you cross through about halfway in if you need to recharge your cloak and remain hidden).
Unfortunately, unless you’re really fast, there’s not way to sneak out of the area without getting shot at. Use Wolf Pack to help you kill the guards, then get back on the horse. As soon as you exit the main area, make a hard right to avoid getting shot by the two Bluecoats at the bottom of the trail. (If you do get show, you’ll have to use Eagle Flight to track the horse). Head for the yellow icon on the screen to meet up with Franklin and complete the mission.

PIECES IN MOTION
Head for the exclamation point on your map to begin the mission. Following the cutscene, head to the tavern (the yellow circle on your map). Once inside, go and talk to the Bluecoat sitting at the checkers table over to the left.
Yep, you have to play another minigame of checkers. You’ll won’t have to beat him, as he will eventually divulge enough information and then you will be allowed to “rage” against him.
Time for a good old fashioned bar fight! No weapons, only fists. And the other guys are pretty good fighters, so use the counter button regularly and inflict maximum damage be performing punching combos to take them out.
After you clear the entire room—yes, you will literally have to fight off each guy—exit the tavern. Outside, you’ll have to escape and become anonymous, which shouldn’t be too difficult with Eagle Flight.
Once you are in the clear, the game will automatically cut to a loading scene. You’ll now have to “investigate the scene of the slaughter.” Use Eagle Flight to fly up to the tree branch right in front of you, then fly to two trees to your left.
Drop down, hide in the nearby bushes and use Wolf Pack to kill the two guards up ahead. Equip Wolf Cloak as you advance and stealth kill the two guards who will come walking through the doorway straight ahead.
Turn right to hide in the wagon of hay to recollect your health/powers. Exit the wagon, equip Wolf Cloak and head down the path to the right. Stop an examine the article of clothing from Sam’s uniform in front of the dead horse.
Hide in the bushes under the tree by the horse, equip Wolf Cloak and continue forward down the path. After you pass all of the slain men, stop to inspect Kanen’to:kon’s tomahawk, then quickly hide in the bushes to the right before the cloak wears off.
You’ll then have to head for the boat (the yellow icon on your map). Continue to use Wolf Cloak and hide in nearby bushes to get there undetected. Also, use Wolf Pack anytime you see any nearby guard dogs to take them out.
Once you make it to the water, head into it and swim across to the pier. Pull yourself and talk to the guy with the hat for a cutscene and the completion of the mission.

AQUILA UNCHAINED
Head for the exclamation point on your map to go talk with Franklin. Following the cutscene, equip Wolf Cloak, quickly catch up with the Bluecoat with the yellow icon above his head and perform a stealth kill after he turns down the alley to the right.
This part will be hard if you want to remain undetected, but as soon as you perform the kill, look for the two guards who will be patrolling this area. If they are coming toward you, use Wolf Cloak again quickly and slip behind them and look for something to hide behind (it’s OK if they find the body).
Use Wolf Pack to take them out. Unfortunately, three more will show up. Wait for your powers to regenerate and repeat. The area should be clear. Go and pick up the Bluecoat with the blue icon above him, turn around and head through the doorway and take him to Franklin.
Following the cutscene, you’ll have to protect Franklin and stay stealthy as you make your way to Faulkner. After you head down the steps, stay hidden behind the fence and use Wolf Pack to take out the Bluecoats that will be approaching Franklin.
Continue to follow Franklin as he turns left down the main street. Once you turn right around the building and see the large wagon of hay, two guards will accost Franklin. Switch to Wolf Cloak, sneak up behind them and quickly perform two stealth attacks.
After Franklin then turns left, he’ll then make a right down an alley without being questioned by other Bluecoats. You won’t be able to slip past the two guards—even with your cloak since the alley is so narrow—so after you switch to Wolf Cloak, quickly head down the path, turn right around the building and then make another right to meet Franklin on the back side.
Following the cutscene, use Eagle Flight to fly up to the roof in front of you. From there, fly to the tip of the ship. You’ll then have to use an Eagle assassination on the four snipers on the boats.
From there, swim back to the Aquila and cut the three ropes. In order to remain hidden, use Wolf Cloak when cutting the second one, then drop down over the ledge, wait for you powers to recharge, then use Wolf Cloak again, climb up and cut the third. Quickly jump in the water and swim away to become anonymous.

ESCAPE TO NEW YORK
Use Eagle Flight to fly to the exclamation point on your map to go and talk with Faulkner. Following the cutscene, you can throw stealth out the window for this next part. Follow Faulkner and his men and help them eliminate any and all attacking Bluecoats (keep a close eye on Faulkner and make sure his health never gets too low).
Once you reach the Aquila, there will be a cutscene. Following that, quickly kill the two Bluecoats attempting to shoot the swimmers. You’ll then have to fight off three waves of Bluecoats (Wolf Pack will come in handy here).
After you take out the third wave, Putnam will show up and you’ll have to kill him using an animal power. Quickly equip your eagle powers and perform an Eagle assassination to take him down and complete the mission.
